1996 2.0 cuts out when raining, or hitting puddles - rikki
Due to the heavy downpours of late our wagon seems to cut out whenever we hit a puddle of any sort or konks out in real heavy rain. However will eventually get going but with effort after a long wait and alot of trying. Can anybody help in this matter or know what might be causing this ridiculous problem. PLEASE

Likely water is getting onto old cracked HT leads/dizzy cap/inside dizzy/plug connectors onto spark plugs. First port of call change HT leads, check dizzy cap for cracks/dirt and replace if at all suspect. Maybe renew plugs at same time. Cheap from GSF or ECP
